Abstract: A bacterial strain of Escherichia coli BKIIM B-3996, a producere of L-threonine, containing a recombinant plasmid pVIC40 and deposited on Nov. 19, 1987 in the collection of microorganism cultures at the USSR Antibiotics Research Institute under Reg. No. 1867.

Abstract: The process for producing L-threonine consists in that there is cultivated a producer of L-threonine in the capacity of which is used the Escherichia coli strain VNIIgenetika M-1 deposited in the Central museum of commercial microorganisms under the All-Union Research Institute for Genetics and Selection of Commercial Microorganisms at a registration No. IIMIIB-1856. The above strain has been selected on the basis of natural variability of the Escherichia coli strain VNIIgenetika VL 334/p YN7), obtained by virtue of the genetic engineering techniques through increasing the dose of mutant genes capable of a higher rate of L-threonine production, by introducing a multicopy hydrid plasmid carrying said genes, into a mutant recipient strain. The abovesaid producer is cultivated on a nutrient medium, containing sources of carbon, nitrogen, and some mineral salts in the presence of an antibiotic penicillin, the resultant biomass being then separated from the culture fluid, whereupon the end product is isolated.

Abstract: A method for constructing strains which produce aminoacids comprising combining of a DNA chromosome fragment of a donor microorganism containing genes controlling the synthesis of a selected aminoacid and having a mutation destroying the negative regulation of the synthesis of this aminoacid with a vector DNA molecule to form a hybrid DNA molecule. Use is made of a vector DNA molecule capable of providing amplification of the hybrid DNA molecule. The resulting hybrid DNA molecule is used for transforming cells of the recipient strain having the mutation blocking the synthesis of the selected aminoacid in this strain and the mutation partly blocking the related step of metabolism of this aminoacid to yield the strain capable of increased productivity of the selected aminoacid.
